The first example has students building upon the previous lesson by applying the scale factor to find missing dimensions. This leads into a discussion of whether this method is the most efficient and whether they could find another approach that would be simpler, as demonstrated in Example 2. Guide students to record responses and additional work in their student materials.

§ How can we reconsider finding an actual length without dividing?
ú We can let the scale drawing be the first image and the actual picture be the second image. We can calculate the scale factor that relates the given scale drawing length, , to the actual length,. If the actual picture is an enlargement from the scale drawing, then the scale factor is greater than one or
> 1. If the actual picture is a reduction from the scale drawing, then the scale factor is less than one or < 1.
Scaffolding:
A reduction has a scale factor less than 1, and an enlargement has a scale factor greater than 1.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Equation is t÷5=8
first you multiply 5 on each to cancel it out
t÷5*5=8*5
solve to get
t=40
Answer:
The correct answer is 20x-1
Hey there! :D
When a fraction is still divisible by a number, then it is not in it's simplest form.
For example, 3/6.
I know for a fact that 6/3=2 <== 3 is also divisible by itself.
3/6 (3/3=1) (6/6=1)
1/2 <== simplest form.
Try the same with 2/4.
4 is divisible by 2.
4/2= 2
2/2=1
1/2 is the simplest form.
I hope this helps!

Answer: It's 76 (sorry, I answered it wrong!)
Step-by-step explanation:
In a rhombus, the diagonals split the angles into two equal parts. If one part of the angle is 38, then the other part is 38. Add up both of them, and you'll get the entirety of angle L, which is 76.
